Abstract
Bruegel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus is one of the most interpreted paintings in art history, but so far each of its numerous readings failed in the basic phases of any attempt to delve into its intrinsic meanings. The article points at these problems and suggests a new reading based on a sound pre-iconographic understanding.
